Casa de Campo is undoubtedly beautiful and sometimes (most of the time) we’re too busy working hard or playing hard to sit back and really take notice. We’re obsessed with taking photos and the following are a few of our favorites taken on our travels around and about in Casa de Campo, classic, everyday Casa de Campo scenes – Casa de Campo at it’s very best!
View from Altos de Chavon looking down over the beautiful Rio Chavon
Most of the time in Altos de Chavon we’re too busy drinking or eating in either Papa Jacks or Onno’s bar to take the time to wander up to the cliff edge and peer below – this photo is a good reason why we should! Beautiful isn’t it?
Dinner at the Casa de Campo Yacht Club
Where better to enjoy dinner than the beautiful Casa de Campo Yacht Club? Beautifully decorated with white Christmas lights, surrounded by stunning yachts, the ambience is unrivaled.
Los Altos residential development – a view to Dye Fore! hahahaha
Although this classic Los Altos pun is a little overused and a little amusing, it is nevertheless true – this photo is taken from the balcony of one of the Los Altos apartments. Beyond the pool the 18th hole of the Dye Fore roles out into the distance.
The teeth of the Teeth of the Dog
When you’re playing golf, or attempting to play golf (our case) or not playing golf (maybe you prefer the beach) this is the view you miss. The Teeth of the Dog is not famous only for being a challenging golf course, but also for it’s stunning views out over the Caribbean sea – even if you don’t play golf, its worth the time taking a walk along the Teeth of the Dog (just watch out for stray golf balls.)
Dawn breaks over Playa Minitas
Last year I only saw dawn at Playa Mintas once – when I took this photo, during the Dueños ’09 yoga session, at the time I wasn’t thrilled to be dragged out of bed so early, but once on the beach, with the early morning sun silhouetted across the sand and the palm trees, it was well worth the effort.

Altos de Chavon – the past and the present
Cafe Rio and Giacosa were once bustling restaurants in Altos de Chavon, which now stand unused (aside from the annual Halloween party in Cafe Rio). These two pieces of real estate stand majestic overlooking the Rio Chavon – the potential for a fantastic night club, bar or romantic restaurant is unbelievable. We’re desperate for this to happen – and we have heard consistent rumors that this will happen…until then we wait!!
